What the hell are you doing here?
According to the original story, he should be in the infirmary, beaten up by Kim Soo-yong, not coming into the classroom.
But the extra, Ogtein, has no signs of being beaten up, and his face is intact.
[The Goddess of Fate says that it’s the first time seeing you so surprised.]
Of course, that’s to be expected.
This is the first time such a big butterfly effect has occurred.
Well, even if I tell him, he won’t understand.
Anyway, look at his appearance. He looks like a neighborhood thug.
His face looks like he would be smoking with tattoos on his arms in the school’s back alleys.
Ogtein slowly walked into the classroom.-Thud. Thud.
His steps were heading towards an empty seat, but something seemed strange.
There were countless empty seats in the classroom, but he was heading towards my side.
What’s going on? Why is he coming towards me? The atmosphere feels strange.
Ogtein, who was heading towards me,
Common sense would suggest that he’s just looking for an empty seat near me.
But.
My instinct, based on my three deaths, warns me that it’s definitely not the case.
Well, aside from that, the guy’s eyes seem to have business with me.
And when I think about it, it’s strange that he’s trying to sit near me when everyone else is avoiding me.
As expected, he came up to me, stopped, and smirked.
“Hey, did your family cut off your support? What are you going to do now? You don’t even have anyone to protect you?”
“…..”
What’s going on? Am I Kim Soo-yong? Why is he picking a fight with me? And what’s this about cutting off support? When was that?
[The Goddess of Fate is baffled by the thug’s late reaction.]
I usually don’t agree with the constellation, but this time I do.
“When are you talking about? I’ve been getting support again for a while now.”
“Hmm… but why isn’t the girl you always hang out with here? You would usually bring her.”
Is he talking about Lise? Now I understand why the students aren’t bothering me.
I’m starting to understand a little. To be honest, even though I’m the son of a marquess, it doesn’t make sense for the students at the Royal Academy, which values equality, to leave me alone.
But it turns out they’re not leaving me alone, they can’t touch me. I don’t know exactly what Lise did to the students in the first semester, but if they bothered me, she would have definitely retaliated.
And she would have done it severely.
For a moment, I thought about what Lise would do to the students who picked a fight with me.
…No, let’s not do that.
It doesn’t seem like it would be good to try.
Well, she probably did a good job without leaving any evidence.
But how did that guy know that my support was cut off? Is this just a simple guess?
If it’s just a guess, it makes sense. After all, it’s only been a couple of days since my support was cut off and then restored.
How can he know this without guessing? It doesn’t make sense.
The only people who know about this are me, Thomas, Kage, the constellation, Lise, and Philip.
First of all, Thomas wouldn’t have any reason to tell a guy like that. And it’s clear that they wouldn’t be on friendly terms.
The other three, Lise, Kage, and Philip, have been with me all this time.
That leaves the constellation…
[The Goddess of Fate asks who the hell that guy is.]
I don’t think it’s him, though.
Of course, the constellation disappeared for a week. It makes sense as she went to find Ange during that time.
But it doesn’t seem likely that she would go to an extra just to tell him that my support was cut off. Unless her brain is filled with udon noodles, she wouldn’t do something like that.
In the first place, does the constellation even know Ogtein?
And it’s strange for a baron’s son to know the secrets of a marquess.
Hmm… he must have guessed it.
Indeed, compared to the first semester, Lise is not near me now. So it’s not strange for him to think that my support has been cut off.
As I remained silent, he thought his guess was correct and smirked, lifting one corner of his mouth.
“It seems my guess was right. So now, you can’t even be called a noble, can you? You don’t have your family’s support, and you don’t have the talent of your siblings. You might as well be disowned, huh?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the students, who had been watching me, glared at me. Jenny and Eileen looked at me with a bit of concern.
Hmm… if I stay silent like this, I’ll look like a pushover.
“You’re mistaken about something. Why didn’t I bring Lise with me?”
I released the aura within my body.
The aura slowly grew, filling the classroom as if it was beyond the level that one person’s aura could produce.
Ogtein and all the students in the classroom looked at me with wide eyes, not believing what they were seeing.
“Because I’m strong.”
.
.
.
Eileen, who was watching the situation, was wide-eyed.
Huh, when did Kaine become able to control that much aura? Or is it even possible to have that much aura?
Eileen could take pride in the fact that she had worked hard in her own way. Every day, she woke up early, did basic physical training, strength training, and sword and aura training with tenacity.
But even so, it’s impossible to grow and control such a large aura as Kaine just showed.
As Eileen wondered, Kaine spoke with a nonchalant expression.
“Because I’m strong.”
All the students in the classroom looked tense and swallowed their saliva.
Ogtein, who was in front of Kaine, turned red and trembled.
As he slowly opened his mouth,
-Creak!
This time, the front door opened, not the back door.
The person who entered through the front door was none other than Royal Academy professor William.
He yawned widely, scratching the back of his head.
“Hey, what are you guys doing standing up?”
“S, sorry.”
Ogtein quickly got out of the way, sitting in an empty seat far from Kaine.
William scratched the back of his head with a bored expression.
“It’s the first day of school, so I’ll make it quick. Do you all know how to apply for classes?”
At William’s question, everyone looked at each other and nodded.
“Then it’s settled. Just like the first semester, you can apply for the classes you want. Of course, you have to meet the minimum credit requirements. Then, class dismissed.”
With that, the students in the classroom quickly left, happy that class was over.
Jenny also stood up with a bright smile.
“Wow… Professor is really cool, huh? I didn’t expect it to end so quickly. But what about Kaine’s aura? Did you see it?”
“Hmm.”
At Jenny’s question, Eileen nodded, stuttering. Jenny crossed her arms and asked in surprise,
“What happened to him during the vacation to make him so different? Did you hear anything?”
“I don’t know either. I haven’t seen him since the breakup during the vacation.”
Eileen remembered Kaine’s expression as he released his aura.
A calm and relaxed expression.
-Thump. Thump.
As she thought about it, her heart started pounding madly.
No… let’s not do this. To begin with, it’s not right for me to go back to the way things were at the beginning.
I didn’t even see how hard he worked during the vacation, and it’s not right for me to like Kaine, who’s trying to go back to the beginning.
“Phew…”
She slowly closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh, calming her pounding heart.
But as a last resort, she rationalized to herself and thought about Kaine again.
.
.
.
As soon as class ended, I left the classroom without hesitation.
I need to get out before that guy picks a fight with me.
If I stay in the classroom, he might pick a fight with me and beat me up.
To begin with, the power I showed just now was just my small aura, adjusted with my Impact Adjustment ability, to make it look impressive. Nothing more, nothing less.
[The Goddess of Fate says your acting skills are getting better and better.]
I think so too.
With my acting skills, I could probably beat any actor on Earth.
But that’s not the important thing.
I can deal with him picking a fight with me at any time, but what’s important is why the butterfly effect happened.
Why did it suddenly change from the original story? There’s no reason for it.
Is it because the constellation came to me? Hmm…
That doesn’t seem to be the case.
At this point, it doesn’t make much difference whether the constellation is here or not. During the vacation, the temple doesn’t provide much support to Kim Soo-yong. And to begin with, that support is now being given to Kim Soo-yong anonymously by me.
In the end, there’s no reason for things to change from the original story.
I walked with an anxious mind towards C class, where the guy was, to find out why things had changed.
.
.
.
“Where’s Kim Soo-yong now?”
When I asked a student from C class, he was startled.
“Oh, he’s in the hospital…”
“Hospital?”
Hearing this, my eyebrows furrowed without me realizing it. The student in front of me, thinking that I was angry because of him, looked at the distant mountains and spoke urgently.
“He got injured while working as an adventurer during the vacation. I think he went to the Academy Hospital.”
Even with his good intentions, he told me everything. I nodded and thanked him.
“I understand. Thank you.”
The student who received my thanks looked at me with wide eyes, wondering, ‘What did I hear?’
I ignored his reaction and quickly made my way to the hospital.
.
.
.
I don’t understand it at all. I haven’t changed anything in the original story except for my survival.
As I expected, things should have gone the same way as in the original story.
[The Goddess of Fate is surprised that Kim Soo-yong got hurt.]
Not only me, but even the constellation is surprised.
To be honest, he’s not the type to get beaten up. It’s natural for the constellation to be surprised.
Let’s go and see. Thinking about it won’t give me an answer. I need to go and talk to him. But… what if Kaine and I aren’t on good terms?
Come to think of it, I don’t know the relationship between Kim Soo-yong and Kaine. In the first semester of the original story, there was no mention of Kaine.
The only time he appeared was as an extra villain during the vacation, and after that, he was briefly mentioned by Eileen after he died.
Never mind. I’ll find out when I go. They won’t kill me for visiting a sick friend, will they? Anyway, he doesn’t know that the boss of the guild he got rid of is me.
As I walked with these thoughts, I arrived at the hospital before I knew it. I didn’t have time to admire the building and quickly went inside.
“It’s definitely Room 508, right?”
As expected of the Royal Academy, which receives support from the state, the building also has a Warp Gate.
I entered the Warp Gate on the first floor and headed to the fifth floor.
I arrived at Room 508.
Without hesitation, I knocked on the door.
-Knock, knock.
“Yes, come in.”
I opened the door at his words.
Kim Soo-yong was more seriously injured than I expected, as he lay in bed with his entire body wrapped like a mummy, except for his face, and stared at me with wide eyes.
He’s really badly injured.
[The Goddess of Fate says it’s strange to see Kim Soo-yong like this after a long time.]
Then go to him. Now.
As I silently told the constellation to ‘get lost,’ Kim Soo-yong stuttered and spoke.
“Why are you here?”
“What do you mean, why? You got rid of the dark guild in our family’s territory, so I came to visit you in the hospital.”
This reason should be enough.
It’s not like he can say anything about the hero who got rid of the human trash (of course, not me and Lise) in his family’s territory coming to visit him in the hospital.
As expected, Kim Soo-yong couldn’t say anything and clenched his mouth shut.
“By the way, why did you get injured? If you’re getting support from our family, you must have had plenty of equipment and potions, right?”
“Well, that’s true, but… you’ve changed a lot.”
I nodded at his question.
“People change. Anyway, answer my question.”
“Yes, it’s fine to tell you. I was scammed.”
Huh? Scammed?
I tilted my head, not understanding his words. Kim Soo-yong’s face turned red as he trembled, feeling embarrassed.
“How can you get injured by being scammed?”
“Phew… apparently, a merchant… or rather, a scammer was selling potions that increase physical abilities in our territory.”
Huh? What’s going on? Something’s strange. No, potions that temporarily increase physical abilities are not common, but they’re not unheard of.
As I denied reality in my mind, Kim Soo-yong continued.
“The potion that the scammer sold had the ability to increase physical abilities using divinity, so I asked a friend to get it for me. So I trusted it and went on a quest to catch a monster that was slightly stronger than me…”
Damn. Is this how the butterfly effect happens? What the hell is this?
I didn’t hear Kim Soo-yong’s words. I was so shocked by the current situation that I couldn’t help but laugh.
“So that’s what happened…”
“It’s okay. I understand what happened, so…”
Who scammed him in my territory? As I thought about it, blood rushed to my head. I felt like I was losing my sanity. No matter how broad-minded I am, I can’t forgive this.
“Don’t worry. I’ll tell my father to catch that scammer.”
Those who scam with potions should never be forgiven.
It’s definitely not just one or two people.
Let’s think about it.
According to Kim Soo-yong’s story, it was around the time I was doing legitimate business.
That was around the time when the dark guild in the territory was destroyed.
The one who destroyed the dark guild was none other than Kim Soo-yong.
And the ones who were dealing with the dark guild were those guys.
Could it be…?!
Are the scammer bastards the guys from the cult?
